    I need to renew my hazmat and it says on the TSA site to bring a birth certificate and drivers license. It has an option for my middle name on the form but my drivers license is only my first and last name. Will this be a problem when I go to renew it?
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    I'm only guessing, but I doubt it. However, I would have the middle name added to my CDL when you renew it. I suspect they are more interested in the SSAN then a middle name.

    Now, the question is, if you go by your middle name as I do, are you now using an Alias?

    My birth certificate includes my middle name, but my last driver's license did not. When renewing, I was contacted by the state and asked to bring in the documents. No problem getting the driver's license corrected, but it did cause a delay. I suspect this could be the same with your Haz Mat.

    Use the same info as when you got your HazMat endorsement. Why complicate your life? It's a govt form, it's not in invitation to explain your life story and get approval from TSA. You passed it once, repeat that same process.

    I was in a different state. I just got fingerprinted and they didnt say anything about not having a middle name on my license so i’ll just wait and see if it goes through.

    Middle name on ID can be a blessing… when I was younger my best friend his father was a truck driver and got arrested at the border because someone with the same name was wanted for murder . He got middle name put on his license after that . This was 30 years ago but I imagine it could still happen.

    My brother in law was born in England. He does not have a middle name, just first and last.
